Johnny Cash - In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way down town
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now

David Davis
I spent almost three years in a prison outside of Juarez Mexico. We had our own pirate radio station and would often hear Johnny Cash. If I didn’t have my radio one of the guys would yell “Gringo you’re song is on”!!!! Didn’t matter what song it was they knew I liked it. A lot of the Mexicans liked it too. I’ve heard Folsom is no joke. I hope you’re doing good today.
This is one of my favorites by Cash
I like that guitar lead by Luther Perkins.
awesome song. ive always loed johnny cash
music to my ears!
